Is that English?
@@shogunero3.6 lol it's their Boston based ad campaign
Can you try 2020 Mazda 6 ,I want to see the night view🤩
13:46 its designed for your wallet ur phone is meant to go on the qi pad
Wow! So the interior design elements of the upcoming i20 2020 has inspiration from sonata. Their interior looks so similar. Beautiful.
That night interior lighting is stunning for a mainstream sedan
I have one and I like it too.
Interior lighting? Wait where was that at in the video?? xD
Glaze Man you gotta be blind not to notice that
@@Glazeman there’s LED lights at night and you can change the colors , I have a 2021
Is it only on the limited trim?
In recent years Hyundai and Kia have really brought their game up.
As Kia’s and Hyundai’s good when it comes to reliability
T L Chevy is better then every single one one em
Nakul Patel yeah maybe now. U know how much hyundai has recalls on their engines they make shitty engines but good looking cars
Steven Quiles at that point I would recommend a Honda or a Toyota cuz you can count on them they’ve been making good affordable cars for years and years
Nakul Patel oh of course i always say i love the new accords I remember when i was younger it was all about the civics. I never like toyotas but they came a LONG way with the newer models with red leather interior.
Really can’t go wrong with a Hyundai now. The value is unbeatable,, the warranty is amazing, and they’ve been super reliable.
what about maintenance costs?
@@berylsam889with there being so many on the road parts are easily and readily available and cheap!
@@berylsam889pretty affordable. Makes it worth it that u get a lifetime warranty on the engine and gearbox and AC
Hyundai is bringing a revolution in regards to mid range cars.
I really like this car.
Me too, it's not bad! Fantastic, and most of all, before I forget, *SMAHT PAHK!*
Jose HP?
Jose 149 is much better than it use to be for this model type. 120 was the going amount previously.
I’ve always loved how Hyundai tends to be ahead of it’s time. My family owns a 2015 Sonata Limited and I found it to have tons of features that you can’t find in most other vehicles until their 2019 models. The 2020 Sonata continues to impress and I love Hyundai for it!
And it's crazy, because the 2015 Sonata was also the very first car to have Android auto! Hyundai has always been ahead of their time.
Reading this as I sold my 2015 Hybrid Sonata Limited, and going to buy a 2022 Hybrid Sonata Limited, I could go for a Hybrid Camry, Hybrid K5, or a normal Accord but the Sonata still pulls me to it more than any of the competition.
Dude Hyundai has stepped up their game, they are in the top five for reliability now for 2020, and the features are awesome, like the camera blind spot system.
@@Anonymous-ji4sb There are many factors like 1. Driving skills 2. Proper maintance 3. Luck.
@@Anonymous-ji4sb its mostly 2018-2020 that are reliable now. Its top 5 for sure, u can search it up. Honda made it to #15 which is scary af. I believe Hyundai is #3 which is saying a lot. And then ofc lexus is #1 and toyota is #2
The N-Line will have an all new 2.5L turbo engine. Different from the current Veloster
Everytime the passenger said Hyun-DIE I cringed lol Love that topher pronounced it correctly..Hyundai like Sunday. Great vid as usual!
smartkid1201 hi-yun-de
It's pronounced "Hai-un-dai".
David Nay. It’s pronounced “hyun-day.” Like, “today,” but hyunday. This is the proper pronunciation per the Korean language. It is two syllables, not three.
In Korean, it's actually pronounced, "Hyun-deh"
It's like "He-yun" but said quickly together as one syllable that rhymes with "sun"
I cant hate this car you get A LOT for your money...i can def see this in the future being a super competitor for toyota and honda
interesting comment. I used to sell Hyundais and what I learned is they cost more money then Toyota and Honda. They always set the standard for tech then everyone else follows. They introduced apple car play and android auto way before toyota and honda. also added back up cameras. and their back up cameras are much more clear and crispy. the touch screen have zero lag. Absolutely awesome cars. Maintenance is cheap! the parts are super cheap.
if only they improve on their design.. kia is doing a rather nice job but this catfish is just hideous.
Amazing review man! Love that u do night drive POV 🔥
I hope the Koreans and the Japanese can keep sedans alive with these latest models, I'm trying to be optimistic.
I'm personally in love with my 2015 Sonata Limited 2.0t. Has a nice luxurious drive and tons of features. Even compared to my 430i. Even still has that wow factor where people get in it and are like "wow this is a nice car". Not disappointed with my purchase. Got to try the new Accord 2.0t sport and I liked the way it drives. But the front seat felt cramped and seats weren't comfortable. I liked everything else abt that car though.
I went from passiviely playing this to fully watching the whole thing to the end. Because I really appreciated the dialogue, Charlie was awesome, I really did like how you guys could talk about this car for awhile. Thank sss
This vibe just hits different
Thank you always for the great videos
Those blind spot monitors are cool. Not only a new safety feature but also it will encourage people to signal for a change.
What a fantastic machine
we love watching your videos. My wife and I picked up a 2020 Hyundai Sonata Limited last week. Great car. Sure it's a little noisier on the highway and maybe not the smoothest ride compared to the CX-5 of the sedans Honda Accord Touring,. but it was many thousand dollars less than the Touring and also we're perfectly fine with it. We just needed a daily commuter car that was economical, reliable and feasible. And this packed a lot of tech, nice looks, the panoramic sunroof (we were sold on this) and a nice interior. We can't complain. Local road driving is very quiet and comfortable. It soaks up bumps nicely and is fairly quiet on local roads. For our weekend hauler and long road trips we will be considering the 2021 Santa Fe or 2021 CX-9 Signature. Have to wait and see how the 2021 Santa Fe pans out driving and comfort wise. That's our only factor for the SUV.
Hyundai has become synonymous with rally racing perfection and now edging closer to being a very premium brand
Just bought one of these yesterday. FYI you don't have to get in the car and push the button for the park assist. You have to lock the door, push/hold the start button, then press and hold the front or back arrow on the remote.
OK, OK, I'm very impressed.
Like the review and the car very much and that blind spot monitoring feature gets a wow from me.
I'm in the market and believe I'll have to at least stop in for a test drive.
This car has better instrument cluster than any Audi, Mercedes, Lexus and my BMW. I saw this at the dealer when a friend of mine test drove the new Veloster N performance and was pretty impressed
Omg he has SMAT PAKKKKK 😂
Smat Pahk??
I can’t wait for this car to come out! I can’t wait to buy this car
I had a 2006 sonata for a bit and oh man i fell in love with that car. I've been trying to find a more recent sonata in around my price range. Who knows tho, but this one looks phenomenal
They really did so cool
I just got this car. It's a pretty awesome car. I love it!!!!...
Congratulations, I want one also
I really want one so bad but it’s so expensive 💔💔💔🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 congratulations 🎊
Neat bro which version u got
Snow driving?
Just bought one today. Limited edition in Hampton Gray. It looks much better in person and is absolutely awesome driving it.
I got the exact same one! With the beige interior ! Such a beauty!
Imma wait till it depreciates. Waiting to see that N-line though
Love your friend!
Peep when you turn it shows you the side camera have to get one of these
Sonata and Mazda 6 are definitely on my radar.
Really curious what you think of the 2021 Kia Optima. Been watching AsianPetrolhead’s videos on it and it seemed in terms of interior design they went backwards a bit. It’s very weird.
SMAHT PAHK! LOL, that quote never gets old!
Thank You Doug DeMuro for this fabulous quote!
I might get wooooshed but daddy doug did not say the quote actually. The hyundai sonata ad/commercial did
Great video, but disappointed that you didn't comment at all on the cabin ambient lighting!!! The previous sonata didn't have any at all. I think there is more ambient lighting here than any other Hyundai, Kia, or even Genesis (based on what I saw on your video, light bar on both doors inserts? underneath the dash?...). Can you change the colors? Is there ambient lighting in the backseat too? It's a huge deal because it elevates the premium feel of the car and shows whats to come for other models.
Even if I were the richest man on earth, I’d still buy this car!!!
That’s what I was thinking 🤣✊🏻
Hyundai came to take Nissan place in the car market.
The new Optima is a beauty, i saw the car on asian petrolhead channel . Let's see if camry and accord can came with better options
Optima is Kia...
@@peterhong526 ohhh really I didn't know that i always thought that optima was BMW
@@wonderboy1998 Sarcasm doesn't make up for stupidity. Nice try.
@@peterhong526 speak for yourself son don't quote me, everybody and their mama know that Optima is KIA sooooo keep movin ....´
If you noticed(i doubt), i didn't said Toyota or Honda because people already know that Camry and Accord belong to those japanese companie, but you had to be that special kid or girl that want attention so bad and commenting the obvious.
@@peterhong526 kia is Hyunda, hyundai is kia
im buying this
Same here. Already went and test drove it
@@businessman81 how was the drive?
@@mastertry1935 that was by far the smoothest car I have ever driven, literally. The steering is practically resistance free. Based on the price difference there is absolutely no reason to by the standard edition. Its only a 1500 dollar difference for middle tier. For some leather seats lol
Shayna Callis is the SEL the better trim to buy?
AlienCreatureThing I would say the SEL plus . Has a nice looking interior
How would I describe driving the Sonata? Soothing.
That’s a good definition.
Hyundai Sonata is Awesome can't wait to the N Line model arrives.
Do those interior blue accent lights in the dashboard come in all trims? Or just the higher end trims?
Program the arms free release to get into the trunk w packages. Nice no need to open trunk from inside like in Some videos.
For 33k Hyundai had to make a decision we can focus on luxury & refinement. Or we can jam it full of amazing tech. The sonata has the most tech in its price range. So I think they’re appealing to the younger market. I just picked up a 2020 Charger Widebody almost $60k and the interior looks Ancient compared to this
Even compared to the Charger GT RWD...sure you get the V6, Scat Pak/Hellcat body package, but it feels like it did when the Charger was released in 2006...just cheap and clunky feeling. For nearly the same price, I'd go towards the 2020 Sonata N-Line any day of the week
@@jwilson2793 Agreed.
I like the hybrid, but it doesn't have the key driving thing, which I like. I feel like I would use that function.
Should try and review a 2020 Kia soul if possible, interested in your viewpoint as the TH-camr I watch most on these reviews
SMAHT PAHK WITH YA CLICKAH!!!!
I always wish they would show how the infotainment system works in these. Even if we can’t hear the music. Can I see the song title in drivers dash? Does it have a cool display on the regular dash ? Does the music shutoff when you turn off the car or when you open the door after it’s been turned off ? Lol these are just things that affect my driving
nice recording quality.
What equipment was used?
Does the ambient lighting extend to the rear doors as well?
i love mine!
very nice
Just traded my 2019 Kona Ironman (yes I actually bought a Kona Ironman)
for a new 2020 Sonata Limited. My other car is a 2020 Genesis G90 5.0
HTRAC and this Sonata is closer to the $80,000 G90 than you might think.
Love them both. Of course I loved the Kona Ironman UNTIL the novelty
wore off and keeping the matte gray paint clean became a real pain.
Anyway am very happy with the Sonata Limited and I would highly
recommend it. Mine is exactly the same model as is shown in the video but- different color - Stormy
Seas (Blue) exterior and Camel Leather.
Hyundai and Kia have done so much better than toyota and honda in recent years... I might have to switch to hyundai soon
Tom Yoo not the powertrain!
they will never beat toyota or honda in reliability, and hondas and toyota’s keep their value overtime
@@slimigo321 I don't know about that... I test-drove Hyundai sonata and Honda accord... Sonata had much better features and driving experience than accord... I know Japanese brands have kept their values all these years but it seems like they started losing in many areas. Companies do not decide their values.. it's the consumers and investors who decide their values man.
@@sdoafhwheab your right i can’t argue
Which should I go for the Honda or Hyundai
@TheTopher how do you feel it does in snowy areas. As I live in Minnesota do you think it could handle is such a snow heavy area?
Absolutely FWD
Shutting my 2012 sonata down!
I didn’t know they had the camry in v6 I like features sonata has a lot of that but hmmmm
I agree regarding the BMW relax modes. They are very gimmicky, these may be a little better. Regarding the wake up mode, all you need to do is role down your windows in the winter on a cold night on the highway!
Can you please teach your buddy how to correctly pronounce Hyundai?
Like Sunday!
TheTopher exactly!
"Hyuhn-dai" is how you properly pronounce it.
Peter Hong Incorrect. It’s Hyundai like “Sunday.” HUN-DAY.
@@CC86CA 현대 = Hyun-Dae
Unfortunately those spectacular specs are not found in my country that I'd be one of their users
I like this
my real question is, can it street park?
Not a fan of Hyundai but that car is sexy. The interior is beautiful and I love that wheel
I still have my 2006 Hyundai Sonata.
I want that
I have a weird question. I bought a 2020 Hyundai Limited yesterday and the backlight colors on the steering wheel controls,doors (unlock,lock,etc) are white on mine,not blue. Yours look blue. I have the same ambient light color as yours, but am wondering about the color on your steering wheel,doors,etc. Thanks and I really enjoyed watching your video! .
Tim Snead i think there is a setting to change that
Hello Muddah, hello faddah, here I am at...Hyundai Sonata
What is the starting mrsp for this 35k?
Whoa blinker camera 😵
Ive never seen double right turns that you can make on a red.
fancy
🔥
do you ever review older cars??? maybe like a 2016 scion tc i feel like it would be really easy to do haha.
Still rockin' my 2004. Right over 100k miles. Still as reliable as ever.
Look up reviews done in 2016
I can’t believe you did this video in the dark :/
what model is this Hyundai Sonata??
Have you driven it during snow.
I’m conflicted between the the Limited and the N-Line…which would you say is the better option? I like sporty sedans but at the same time I love the options that the Limited gives 😭
Limited
The car drives better when you put a can and air filter in it transmission can be adjusted if you go to your Hyundai dealership that's all in how they've said the programming of the shift points
현대자동차 군요.멋지죠.
와 소나타다
I never knew the sonata has a floating speed or clock dial and interior led lights I knew other secrets but not these 2
This is my next car 2021 🔥🔥 Hyundai’s and Kias up next they beat Honda’s and Nissans and Toyota’s I have a Nissan Versa Sv 2015 it’s nice but I need a upgrade lol
👍👌
I can't believe he said a low end quality car has less noise than a sonata that pretty mean
wow, hyundai.. We are living in future now, aren't we?
The ommission of the tuning knob is a shame. Everything else is so nice
This car is popular in korea! I want to know opinion that are foreign area
The 1.6T just doesn’t have enough power especially being the top limited trim
A little bit cheaper than accord ?? Really are you drunk !!! The interior of the car is far superior than every part of the segment, the quality is much improved too
Cheaper feeling ride. Cheaper parts. Better build quality in the Accords. The tech and interior look ‘cooler’ and more mod but that’s only one category. The transmission and ride quality/solid feel is a clear advantage for Honda.
@@pmiahky it’s not , the only better thing in accord is the engine reliability history
@@popsandbangs8858 That’s simply not true. Power delivery, smoothness of the transmission, suspension design, types of materials in the chassis. No brainer. But, yeah, the cabin looks cooler and more glitzy in the Sonata. More advanced tech in the Sonata. Again, that’s just one category.
@@pmiahky yeah so !!
@@pmiahky the true fact is “ both good cars “ & both have their Pros and Cons
This Hyundai is the definition of a glow up, it looks like a sexy catfish
Did you review the 8 next to it?
Oh ya! Coming next week
@@TheTopher perfect will tune in!
I'm comparing with Mercedes a220 with sonata hybrid. Am I crazy 🤪?
Koreans are doing amazing work with their cars. I just bought a 2020 optima and couldn’t be happier
I got me an 18 xse camry should I switch to this
I personally would because the technology and features are a step ahead to what’s available right now like Honda Accord , Mazda , and so on . But Toyota is great , very reliable
Hold on...why did he go when the light shows stop? 3:03
Heard of free right??
Nice car. Smaht Pahk is very nice. Also, when will they make a hybrid/PHEV? If so, then hopefully they don't screw it up like the 2010-2014 Sonata Hybrid!
Remember - Smaht Pahk! If you're not using the British accent, then you're doing it very wrong.
👍Hyundai
Are Hyundai reliable cars ?
Topher got it right with the "Hun-DAY" pronunciation. The passenger has to get up to speed...it's NOT "hun-DAI". Also, good points on Accord...except the x-factor for me is how AWFUL and bloated it looks. I'd take the Sonata Hybrid in this class if I was going for one, but it's the Genesis GV80 SUV that has my money when it's time to trade in my CX-5... Can all but guarantee that's where I'm headed. Keep up the great work guys
